Julie Tylman

I've lived and worked in the US, Europe and Australia with careers in sales, IT management consulting, and research (equity analyst). This background combined with an MBA from Columbia University, a passion for learning and mastering new skills helped prepare me for the all encompassing role as startup co-founder of GroupTogether Pty Ltd in Sydney.

GroupTogether lets you chip in money, sign a card and give a gift from your group. This innovative platform encompasses and integrates disparate technologies needed to create invitations, collect and track payments, design bespoke greeting cards, and buy and give gifts. It also contributes a social conscience to the endeavour. When people group together to give a gift, an enormous amount of trash in the form of plastic packaging, gift wrap and unwanted gifts is saved from entering the landfill. GroupTogether also makes it easy to donate any portion of the group gift to charity. To that end, GroupTogether has given over $400K in charitable donations on behalf of thousands of Aussies who otherwise might not have given.
